Turning, Telling Moments in the Classical Political World examines
developments in the classical political world which are both
turning and telling moments. All the moments from Theseus's
founding of Athens to Augustus's establishment of the Principate
possess the double character of being turning points and revealing
fundamental aspects of the ancient political world. While most
books on ancient history are chiefly concerned with questions of
literary sources and historical accuracy, this book deals with the
significance of the facts and reports themselves. Blits treats the
ancient histories as works of reflection rather than works of
research. Instead of focusing on whether, or how, the ancient
historians meet the professional standards of present-day
historiography, Blits reveals the way they themselves
understand-and intend us to understand-the ancient world.
